Just as Rutger and Mombaki were getting ready to leave, Darren and Artemis were both walking in. As the S-ranked mage inquired as to their readiness, Rutger nodded. 

"I think we're all good to go. Where exactly is this dark guild located, and how will we be getting there?" the fire mage said. He hoped it wasn't too far away, and that it wasn't near a populated area. If the dark mages had their own guild building set up somewhere outside any proper civilization, they would be able to fight without worrying about collateral damage or innocent bystanders. If the place were surrounded by forests or hills, too, it would make setting up an ambush easier...then again, they would be on unfamiliar turf.

Rutger shook his head to stop his imagination from running away with him. There were too many problems with this situation already for him to be coming up with more before he even knew what they were facing.
